Nyltite®
Main installation
Nyltite® sealant does not require any special preparation of the fastener or the machined part. It is primarily recommended for manual assembly work (in maintenance, limited spaces, etc.). The Nyltite® sealant or sheaths with flanges, may be combined with a multitude of compression fasteners (screws, nuts and bolts, rivets, eyelets, pop rivets, nails) . It offers cost effective and high performance sealing in relation as regard of conventional seals.
The configuration of this kind of seal lets the Nylon® run towards the inside under compression, filling all of the spaces between the fastener and the part to be machined. Nyltite® sealant can be installed on a wide range of screws.
ADVANTAGES
Sealing and protection on a wide range of screws
Reusable
Electrical insulation between the screw and the host part
Avoids galvanic corrosion around the seal
Sealing is achieved without any special preparation of the base
Noise reduction
Absorbs vibration thanks to the increased tightening torque
Eliminates potential hazards due to the surface condition under the host part head
Advantageously replaces mechanical washers
Strongly chemically resistant to most environments (petroleum products, salt water, hot oils, solvents,
chemicals, etc.)

Application
Outdoors:
In electrical applications, Nylon® seals are widely used. Outdoors, they protect from dust and rain (street lights, urban furniture, etc.). These seals guarantee IP65 protection.
Indoors:
Sheaths are often used to cut costs when protecting electrical cables and providing seals to insulate the elements. Using seals on battery chargers allows insulating their covers. They are also used in electronics, in printed circuit board assembly systems. They help dissipate heat on power components.
Aeronautics:
Nyltite® seals are used when assembling panels on commercial aircraft for their combined vibration resistance, sealing and locking actions.
Transportation:
The advantages of Nyltite® seals are well known in rail or maritime applications. Vibration resistance and the general sealing achieved by the under-head seals offers a cost effective solution for all kinds of applications subject to the elements and to vibration due to transportation.
Buildings:
On all outdoor screw head applications, Nyltite® seals ensure the waterproofness of the under-head assembly while avoiding any marks on the base and any galvanic corrosion that could be caused by the different materials assembled.
